I was thinking about what could be an effective way to repel Gazan rioters, but in some safe way, to prevent serious injuries and the resultant anti-Israel propaganda. Then I remembered this:
The US military has a system that focuses a beam which produces a feeling of intense heat (in the video, they compare it to a feeling of opening a very hot oven) on the top-most layers of skin without injuring someone, and it makes those on which the beam was focused to pull back to get away from the heat. They say that it’s based on microwaves, so it goes through clothes (and microwaves would also pass through smoke), so if rioters didn’t pull back immediately, they would probably end up with something similar to having a sunburn and maybe some blisters but not serious injuries based on what they show in the video).
It seems like it could be much more effective for repelling rioters than something like tear-gas.
